THE KERRY BLACKWATER. 419 



All the above patterns are from Haynes, as are those for 

 the Kerry Black water which follow. 



THE KERRY BLACKWATER. 



The same character of flies prevails here. 



No. 1 is like the Lee No. 1 , without the yellow hackle 

 at the shoulder, and with a little claret mohair as a tag to 

 counterpoise, and a strip of red parrot in the wing. 



No. 2 is an Orange Anthony (Lee No. 2) without the 

 kingfisher. 



No. 3 is No. 2 in the Cork Black water. The colours 

 running blue, grey in the middle, and claret, with a yellow 

 hackle on the shoulder, and blue jay over it ; wing, tippet, 

 hen pheasant, red and green parrot, and brown mallard 

 over. 



No. 4 is a dark Blue Doctor for the lower two-thirds of 

 its body, the upper third being an orange floss ; blue jay 

 hackle, and orange at shoulder ; wing, tippet, and mallard ; 

 blue macaw ribs ; black head. 



No. 5 is a plain Yellow Anthony, with a bit of apple- 

 green floss in the tag.

THE SUIR. 



To obtain patterns for the Suir and Nore, I wrote to 

 Mr. Brady, and he most kindly forwarded me the follow- 

 ing patterns, with a note from a resident on the river 

 Mr. Staples an extract from which note I append.
